First of all, we are a small
business with little overhead. This means your bid will be lower than
ANY of our competitors. Feel free to get other bids.
Here are the factors that we
consider:
Accessibility.
Multiple decks, rough terrain and how much laddering all add work to
the process.
Rails require much more work
in both prep. and staining than do flat, horizontal surfaces.
Vertical surfaces take more
work and usually more setup than do horizontal deck surfaces.
Amount of
drop clothing or masking.
Nails or screws needing to be
counter sunk.
Our stain is the highest quality
available.
Usually our first visit when
we "whip your deck into shape" takes much more work than subsequent
visits.
Power washing or light sanding
is much less work than full sanding.
Area that is hard to reach with
sanders. Underneath railings, lots of corners, or ledges beyond railings
all must be sanded with small detail sanders which require more time and
effort than our floor sander.
